Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin for epididymitis
augmentin
Hello vandemon,
You are most probably suffering from <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>epididymitis</span>, which is most often is due to the retrograde extension of organisms from the vas deferens and is rarely the result of hematogenous spread. Bacterial infection results in the infiltration of white blood cells into the epididymal connective tissue, with resultant congestion and edema.
Hence, the typical symptoms which you actually describe.
I see blood in my seamon, Im on <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>augmentin</span> XR Tab 1000MG 2 tab's.2X per day. Could this be the cause ? P.
Similar pain is noted as a symptom of chlamydia and gonorrhea and the UTIs and <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>epididymitis</span> that stem from them. But I tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea 12 days after my encounter and I am not experiencing any of the other symptoms such as discharge, burning sensation etc.
My thoughts:
1.
he said it could be <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>epididymitis</span> we did all the urine tastes and all my testes say we don’t have any bacteria’s
So my Dr. told me to take augmentin (Amoxicillin Clavulanate) and for 10 days and that the pain will go away so after 10 days nothing happened than he told me to take profenid: An ibuprofen-type anti-inflammatory analgesic and antipyretic.
It was quite bad for a day so I went to the doctor and they said it was inflamed epididymis and put me on <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>augmentin</span> duo forte and doxycycline. So my question is if I tested negative for chlamydia/ Gonorrhea at day 16 but got symptoms at 8 weeks could it be that my results were false negative or could my epididymitis be due to something else? I find it to be a HUGE coincidence if it is. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Hello,
From your symptoms and investigations, most of the STD’s have been ruled out and it looks like epididymitis. Modes of treatment are antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents; phytotherapy, anxiolytics, narcotic analgesics, acupuncture and injection therapy.
I suggest you to take the antibiotics as prescribed by your urologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I had it tested in Germany and the results where Enderoccocus, no Clamydia and no GC. Got treated with <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>augmentin</span> for two weeks, the discharge remained although only in the mornings and late evenings. Went to see a doctor here in Thailand and received 7 days of Tequin 400 mg and Vibramycin 100 mg. Got tested after that with first urin test as well as swap and the test came back negative. The discharge remains, not much and mostly only if I press (milk) the penis, but still.. What could it be?
The rest of the symptoms you describe in the follow-up comments (below) do not suggest any STD. My bet is that the diagnosis of <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>epididymitis</span> was not right; that condition usually causes really severe pain and swelling in a single testicle, not vague pain in the area. Most of what you describe sounds like allergy or a garden variety respiratory virus, like a cold. And some of what you describe sounds like nothing more than the physical signs of anxiety.
OK,
For starters, if you have had "protected" sex, epididymitis is not likely. However, you mention the prostate exam "hurt like hell" I understand prostate exams are uncomfortable, however, if there is inflammation of the prostate gland, this is going to hurt when they do a prostate exam. You really can't "feel" prostatitis and, for the most part, the diagnosis is made on the "symptoms" a patient presents with.
I pray that mine will I cannot function as normal like this never mind be a dentist. After a 2 week course of <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>augmentin</span> i felt like my brain was back to normal but it took a the whole 2 weeks of slight improvement each day.
l but after one night of drinking alcohol I deteriorated. Now I am coming to the end of another 7day course of augmentin and my symptoms are still here.
